Bertuzzi picked up an assist and earned his first career goal Sunday, helping out in a 4-0 road win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Bert showed up at the doorstep and tipped in a five-hole rebound to get that first goal out of the way. The rookie scoring winger, whose agitating playing style is as coarse as emery sandpaper, has managed one goal and five helpers on the season. He hasn't taken a ton of shots (17 in 10 games) but that figures to change as he gets more comfortable with coach Jeff Blashill's system, which is less reliant on defensemen making offensive contributions than most other teams.

Bertuzzi recorded two assists, three shots, four PIM and a plus-2 rating during Sunday's 4-1 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

This was the first multi-point showing of Bertuzzi's career, and the 22-year-old winger likely prolonged a top-line gig alongside Henrik Zetterberg and Gustav Nyquist with the outing. If the youngster continues to skate in a scoring role, his fantasy value could rise in a hurry. In deep settings, it's not out of the question to take a speculative flier on Bertuzzi, and he's definitely a player to watch in all setups.

Bertuzzi's assist in Wednesday's 3-1 road loss to the Devils was his first career point.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi was the primary distributor on a Justin Abdelkader even-strength tally in the second period. You won't find many hockey pundits projecting a playoff berth for the Red Wings this season, which would actually benefit the rookie in the sense that it would virtually guarantee more playing time for the gritty winger down the stretch.

Bertuzzi was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following his return from a wrist injury, Bertuzzi didn't exactly fare well in his Dec. 9 season debut against the Blues, as he went scoreless and skated to a minus-3 rating over 9:13 of ice time. However, the gritty scoring winger's managed five goals and 11 points in 15 games with Detroit's top development affiliate, which suggests that he could be better prepared this time around.

Bertuzzi was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The agitating scoring prospect made his season debut Saturday night against the Blues, but it was a rude awakening, as he posted a minus-3 rating over 9:13 of ice time. Hopefully for the Wings, the wrist injury that cost Bert a spot on the Opening Night roster isn't still causing him problems.

The Red Wings recalled Bertuzzi from AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings only had 12 healthy forwards on their roster prior to Bertuzzi's promotion, so the 21-year-old winger will round out the team's depth up front for the foreseeable future. He's played well in the minors this season, notching five goals and nine points in 12 contests.

Bertuzzi (wrist) was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Tendon inflammation in his wrist surfaced at the worst possible time for Bertuzzi, as he'd been lobbying for a roster spot with the Red Wings out of training camp. However, with Martin Frk laboring through an active eight-game pointless drought, it wouldn't be surprising to see Bert called up to the NHL once his conditioning is up to snuff. After all, he took home MVP honors for his work in the 2017 Calder Cup playoffs, recording 19 points in as many games en route to the championship.

Bertuzzi (wrist) could be ready to return for the AHL's Griffins next weekend, Pete Wallner of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi has been dealing with his wrist ailment ever since training camp, and presumably he'd require a conditioning stint in the minors before rejoining the men in Motown. It's worth noting that rookie Martin Frk, who claimed a spot on the Opening Night roster after the injury to Bertuzzi, has been held without a point in six straight games after an extremely hot start that included goals in three of the first four.

Bertuzzi is dealing with tendon inflammation in his wrist and will miss 3-to-4 weeks, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is an unfortunate development for Bertuzzi, especially since he was believed to be the frontrunner among the team's prospects to win a roster spot out of training camp. He's suddenly not so attractive as a fantasy option in redraft leagues, but the keeper interest should remain high for the 2017 Calder Cup MVP.

Bertuzzi, who's dealing with a mid-body injury, will undergo further testing Friday to determine the severity of the injury,Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings had all but assured Bertuzzi -- who was named MVP of the 2017 Calder Cup Finals -- a spot on the Opening Night roster, but this injury has the potential to complicate things. He's played in one of two preseason games thus far, but it would likely take clean test results for him to tag into Saturday evening's home tilt against the Bruins.
